The MAYAN CALENDAR is a system of calendars used in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and in many modern communities in the Guatemalan highlands, Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico.The pre-requisites of the Maya calendar are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE.
The Maya calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the TZOLKIN.
21st December 2012
The long-count calendar—which spans roughly 5,125 years starting in 3114 B.C.—reaches the end of a cycle on December 21, 2012.Instead, for the Maya, the end of the long count represents the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one, according to Emiliano Gallaga Murrieta, the Chiapas state division director of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.
21st June 2020
Now, a new conspiracy theory predicts that the actual doomsday might be soon as the world is knock to end on June 21, 2020. This declare is a follow on from the theory that the world was supposed to end on December 21, 2012 when the Mayan calendar completed. As per the New York Times, that theory might have been wrong since it is alleged that per the Julian calendar, we are currently living in the year 2012, and not 2020.
In a tweet that has been removed now, scientist Paolo Tagaloguin stated that “Following the Julian Calendar, we are technically in 2012. The number of days lost in a year due to the shift into Gregorian Calendar is 11 days. For 268 years using the Gregorian Calendar (1752-2020) times 11 days = 2,948 days. 2,948 days / 365 days (per year) = 8 years”.
December 21, 2012 = June 21, 2020.
So, by Tagaloguin’s calculations, Earth will be destroyed on June 21, 2020.
Nevertheless, Hasan Al Hariri, CEO of the Dubai Astronomy Group, has criticized these reports as a hoax and said the theory that the world will end on June 21,2020 is highly unscientific and illogical.
